Ouch...I fell this morning.....

I can't believe it....it has been a long time since I hit the floor. I went outside to bring in the dog water bowl (our dog Max

with congestive heart failure is VERY sick right now and probably doesn't have much time left) so I was leaving him in the bathroom in his bed while I came to work for my 3 hours. Anyway, the tip of my shoe somehow hit the edge of the step and BOOM down I went!! Water went everywhere and it took me a second to figure out what happened. Well, I think/hope I am fine with a really banged left knee (already bruising) and a sore shoulder (obviously from where I tried to catch myself). Thank goodness I didn't break or dislocate anything though I am sure by tomorrow I will be really sore.

Aw, sorry.

I hate it when that happens. With me it usually ends up with so much more, sprained this or torn that...I am not a graceful faller. The driveway is complete ice now (and it's a long one) not sure when I'll be out walking on it.
Hope you heal quickly & without further complications.

Hope you feel well soon. I have done that two times so far on my walk. I try to pop right up like nothing happened. LOL

Ouch! Sorry that happened, take it easy while you recover.

**sdrjeolsen** · 02-19-2008, 02:20 PM

Ouch, hope you aren't too sore tomorrow. I can relate. I haven't fallen for ages and yesterday a gust of wind hit just as I stepped on a patch of ice...down I went on my butt. My neck is a bit sore today, since my head jerked back when I hit.

I'm glad you didn't break anything, hope your knee and shoulder feel better soon.

**nesta67** · 02-19-2008, 04:01 PM

Ow! That doesn't sound good. Try to take it easy today and hopefully you won't be in too much pain tomorrow! Maybe a nice long soak will help.

**RABBIT** · 02-19-2008, 06:24 PM

Yikes, at least you didn't break anything. I'm sure you'll have a nasty bruise through. I'm sorry to hear that your dog Max is doing poorly. I have a 13 year old dog who also has congestive heart failure, it's hard to watch them go downhill. Hope Max is doing better tonight.

So sorry for the fall. Besides your knee you will probably hurt across your chest where you tried to cushion your fall. I slipped last week in some blackice on our gravel drive and caught my self on the left arm. Did the knee thing also however the next day it felt as though someone had hit me in the chest right along my collarbone. So take care and give Max a huge hug from Freya and I. Sure hope he makes it.
